Did we ever figure out what was going on with CWM popping up for some people when they charge the phone when its off? I'm having that "issue" as well. Other than that, rooting went smoothly after I realized what I did wrong in the first place.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] corenojoe:
ya at this point I guess Ill just wait for the update, hope its done tonight, but if not then oh well. Im assuming it will be no problem since I am at a much lower version than 1.12.605.09

thanks for all your help
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
No problem, sorry it didn't turn out to be more productive.

You should be fine running the update on top of that older version, when it arrives.

Good luck, I'm sure you will get there eventually. :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
The Dev an I have been working on it for the last 6 hours. We figured out the issue causes. Update soon to come.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jr4000watts:
cant wait for the update. about to charge the phone catch some dinner, hold off on the beer, dont wanna drink and root lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pmdied:
Ok, I've got the program downloaded and my TB plugged in; the Rooter is on "pushing files". Its as simple as that so far?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
Please do not use those files. Please wait for the update.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] champaned_out:
I rooted last night using the no setup previously required files and I'm getting a bunch of problems today.... I can't hold down internet connections I have to reboot every 15minutes to be able to connect to 3g or 4g but then I get kicked off again and need to reboot he phone and my reception has definitely worsened... My work were I get full 4 bars now only gets 2 if I'm lucky....

I guess mine didn't work properly because I see.in he hboot menu it says s-on

I've opened Rom manger and flashed the recovery.. it said installed successfully but when I click reboot into recovery in Rom manger it brings me to the hboot menu...

Will your new root technique work for people that have already used your previous method but failed to complete it? Or is there a way to unroot my phone all togeher? I'm gettin some serious connectivity and reception problems since I used the easy root last night I kept telling myself its all in my head but I've never had my data connection drop this bad..

I really appreciate the work you have put into all this and helping everyone with their questions, I don't want to come off sounding like I'm ungrateful or anything cause I'm not...just a little worried about some of the problems I've been experiencing since I've attempted to root my phone
[Thunderbolt Android Development] denpad2010:
I had problem with step 1 so can u tell me when the program says devices listed ( something like that) after that what it says ??
[Thunderbolt Android Development] corenojoe:
What firmware version does it currently say your running when you go to settings-about phone-software-software number? if it is lower than 1.12.605.09 then Ive heard you'll be find to run the updated easy root when it comes out

[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
The Dev an I have been working on this for almost 8 hours straight. It hasn't been easy, but we figure out most of the issues. Some of the problem relates to you fix one thing, something else breaks. As of now I been up all night, and all day. I'm tired, and so is the Dev.

So we apologize for not releasing it yet, but we will continue working on it till its done right. Godbless.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] brohammer619:
Thank you for doing this, I will donate
[Thunderbolt Android Development] conazo:
Don't need to apologize keep, when ever is done is done no hurry im waiting on it my self but don't rush take ya'll time so it could be fully working easy root method with zero bugs!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bmwhartgeM3:
Is there any reason why when I turn my phone off and plug it in the the charger it boots to recovery?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] corenojoe:
No need to apologize bro, we appreciate what you guys do. Get some shut eye.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] champaned_out:
my version # is 1.03.605.10
[Thunderbolt Android Development] champaned_out:
i have no idea why the verison number is 1.03 and not 1.12.xxx.xx

could this be why im experiencing so much trouble with my phone after the root atempt?

ive downloaded setcpu and loaded profiles wifi tether app from market seems to work... but like i said before CWM recovry will not boot up even though it said its been installed succesfully and in the Hboot menu i see that it says S-ON

anybody with some knowledge know how i can fix this while the devs work on a updated root version? is there a way i can unroot? and go back to stock?

i really wouldnt mind all the problems ive had excpet for the data losing connection and low reception everywhere i got... i went to 3 different cities today and i have not once had more than 2 bars everywhere i went...

my phone is still responsive and fast and the battery usage is fine but i dont know if i can go another day with the problems ive had today :/
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SubliminalME:
Is it 'sposed to bypass [7] TP on step 2?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JustinD2473:
seems like your phone got the downgrade during the root process like it is supposed to...but them maybe you didnt upgrade after the root took effect like you were supposed too?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SubliminalME:
Well, I think I'm going to call it a night. I have s-off when i go into the bootloader, but when i shell su it tells me access denied. Grrr
[Thunderbolt Android Development] martouf13:
I spoke to jcase about this and its actually a HTC issue. Even if the phone isn't rooted it will boot into recovery that way except its stock recovery and a black screen so the user doesn't know. It's not a bug and won't be fixed. As for why, who knows...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Supraex:
Thank you.

dbzfanatic, I Just want you to know, I've been following this thread since page 7. Great job with everything you've done so far. I can't wait till the update gets released.

Take your time; we'll be here when you’re done.

Thank you for everything~
[Thunderbolt Android Development] corenojoe:
Im in the same situation, version 1.03.606.10 and rooted apps are working but not clockwork even though rommanager says it flashed successfully.

I'm gonna wait for the update, should be soon and should work to fix our problem.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SubliminalME:
Well, it took me till 2:30 am this morning, but I'm rooted and rom'ed!

Thanks so much for all the help. I spent 2 days watching this thread, reading the manual thread, watching YouTube videos on adb.

In the end, I made step 1 no worries, step 2 no worries, and step 3 seemed to go fine, but it took a whole lot of rebooting, and i ended up going to the manual directions and pushing the su and rom manager files over and doing those steps.

Then it'd say s-off, but wouldn't let me into rom manager...but then i kept rebooting and kept trying and now titanium and rom manager are working like a breeze!

:-)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
I've got good news and bad news. Good news: I think I've worked out all the kinks in my program. Bad News: My testers are sleeping so I can't make sure. Hopefully it will be released soon, and sorry about not releasing yesterday my brain was friend and I was exhausted.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jspector:
No need to applogize! Thanks for the hard work!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jaskil1975:
When you release the new version can you include like a walk through guide? I'm not new to rooting but it has been a while. I rooted og Droid but that was like over a year ago and have had a non Android phone for a while now so just getting back into it. Maybe a video would be awesome as well. Thanks for all your hard work. This is one of the best parts of owning Android is all the development.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] aostl:
Is it still 800+ mb? I got no internet or 4g at home so need to.make arrangements to download lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rusty4k:
Im awake now
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@aostl yeah it's still big, sorry.

@rusty alright, gtalk or PM, w/e

@coren the update will fix the CWM issue, you can reflash using it.

@People wanting a video and/or instructions. All instructions are in the program, and I can't make a video as I don't have a thunderbolt otherwise I wouldn't mind making one. If anyone wants to donate a little extra so I can buy one that's fine but as I stated in the OP donations aren't necessary and please consider donating to charity.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cuguy:
pushing...

You mentioned that it takes awhile to push. What does the program say when it's done? Is there anything that should be displayed when pushing is in progress?

I apologize if someone asked this before. (I skipped about 30 pages of posts)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
I'm about to release an update (soon anyway) so just hold tight. Don't use the old methods.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawonder:
I'm ready to donate so that dbz (OP) can get a Thunderbolt , hope everyone can too because if he had one he would be able to work out the kinks and get the updates to us much faster .
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jaskil1975:
Thanks again for all your hard work. Let's get enough donations to get you one of these bad boys.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] htowngator:
Cool, thanks.

Are you going to update the front page with the notice that you've changed the file to the updated version?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Thanks guys. Couple lil tidbits of info, 1) some people have been saying they have issues with my donate link. If you want to donate and you are having issues please tell me. 2) This is post 666 so superstitious people feel free to make comments.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
Willing to donate also .post 666 weird, a black cat crossed my path on my way to work. Am I gonna die ? Lmao.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Supraex:
Once I can get to a bank, I'll set aside a little something for DBZ.

Just wondering dbz, how many hours did it take for you to create the update?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Like 3 hours total of coding work but a lot of testing, thinking, and uploading time so overall for the entire thing I'd say about 12-14 hours so far.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] asenduk:
Donated..

Went through just fine for me..

Cant wait for the update and thanks for all your hard work!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ksizzle9:
So have i missed the update? I imagine that 800mb would take quite a while to upload.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Nope still haven't released the update just yet, doing some last-minute testing and then once I get confirmation it all works it'll be about 2 hours of UL time before I can post the updated link.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CastorTroy45:
windows 7 64
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Alright, send me a PM and I'll help you get adb setup. Once we figure out a good method (I know like 4 or 5 methods) I'll post here recommending it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] frodsteamin2:
downloaded original 800mb file, didnt work loading into bootloader. tried the new exe without adb needed. replaced the exe. still a no go. the phones drivers are loaded correctly as I see them in device manager. So as of now I am stuck.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Again with the bootloader...that's the same complaint everyone seems to have whenever a problem comes up. By the way the http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YGA7K9GM file is the original, if you used that then you just tried the same exe file twice. Try setting up adb (it's been explained) and trying the other exe.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] khanam:
anybody else with firmware version 1.12.605.9 who tried this yet?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] racedog:
Ok, before using I want to ask the question - does this work for Windows 7, 64 bit Professional?

Also, thanks for the excellent and fast work for the TB.

R
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Drootz!:
SU update included?

X2 is the updated SU included in the 1 click package?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@racedog It should work just fine. I'm using win7 x86 but I don't see why it wouldn't work on x64

@drootz i answered a few posts back, no it isn't included yet. I am working on an updated version with a few extra perks and a few less steps.

Edit: OP updated with tweaked "no adb needed" exe file that should reboot into the bootloader. if it still doesn't can someone open a command prompt in the directory where all the files are and type "adb shell" and tell me what you get please?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] libraryclg:
Okay stupid question, but does this method wipe your data?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Yes, as I've said multiple times it's exactly the same as the original just automated. Don't mean to sound harsh, if I do that's because I'm tired.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] eakrish:
Well holy hell..... they let you release it! I am stoked for you and thanks jcase. I am glad I started that other thread!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] libraryclg:
Sorry about that, I missed the question being asked before.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
It's ok, I didn't mean to sound harsh I'm just tired.

@eakrish yeah,and I've got an update on the way (after I sleep so I can think clearly).
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jamestx10:
Sleep is over rated. I am in the process right now and the only thing that I would say is that more info / instruction on what is going on and when would be good.

Just finished the flash and am booting now to continue. Will update when complete.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
I haven't slept in 4 days so I'm tired. You're in the process with my program and it rebooted into the bootloader on its own and allowed you to flash? I just want to confirm that. Like I said some people have trouble some don't.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jamestx10:
Yes. It did give me the known error bug 1, then showed me the hash which matched and is flashing Hboot now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Alright, glad it's working. I have no idea why it shows that error. It shows up before it should even be checked for but at least everything is working for you.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sportadic22:
which way are you using.. the exe with no need for adb installed.. or the exe that requires you already to have that stuff installed.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cliffco823:
Thanks for this!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jamestx10:
I am using the EXE from ADB needed.zip. The other would not get me to the bootloader.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] corenojoe:
Sounds good man, can't wait cuz this 1.03.605.10 version I somehow got myself on is buggy and clockworkmod recovery will not work. Hopefully the update will fix it.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] arasky:
@dbz what phone do you have right now?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
Just wanted to let you guys know how much time dbzfanatic has been putting into this. We spent almost the whole day yesterday running through different options him updating the program and sending it to me for testing. I am about to hopefully test his last vs before release and even though i am rooted I really appreciate all the time he is devoting to us the Users.

He doesn't even have a Thunderbolt!!!

Even though Justin wanted dbzfanatic to have everyone to donate first and formost to a good cause, i say we need to help dbz as well. Thank you Justin and team for the rooting steps, but dbz is the one spending his time writing this program.

So if you have used his program and it worked for you even if it took some time.

HELP HIM OUT

He deserves our support.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@arasky I have a mytouch 3g slide right now.

@Morlince thanks dude, yeah that's the right link i just looked and im glad to help you guys out.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
The link that theMorlince put up is it for dbzfanatic?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
How did you get that version? Did you update with anything more then the program?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
Just donated, thanks for all the effort and hard work.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
HOLY F*ING SH*T! Thank you SO much! I have that much more incentive to make this even better. This is going straight to the fund, I'll have to buy the phone outright but again thank you!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] corenojoe:
The files wouldn't push so I downloaded the original ruus from the manual root post on droidlife and used them to replace the ones in the easy root file. Went through all the steps fine and now most root apps work and superuser works but clockwork says it flashes and doesn't work, its running the 1.03.605.10 version somehow and idle what happened. I saw someone else on the thread that has the same thing.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
Mucho welcomo.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ksizzle9:
DBZ, keep up the good work man, and dont hesitate to ask if you need any help with anything. Just dont kill yourlself to get it done
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Goofypook:
"Choose the bootloader option and press POWER. Let the ROM flash. When asked to upgrade, choose yes (Press VOLUME UP). This will take a while and your device may reboot, allow it to happen. You will be presented with a screen saying you device is updating."

This is what I get when I plug in my phone and click step 1... Is there something I should be doing?? Should my phone be restarting itself??
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
It should be starting to push some files and then restart when that's done. If it's not doing anything it may not be detecting your phone yet. Do you have it in debugging mode, on charge only?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
Just a heads up. Dev had to leave for a job interview. He should be back in a few. We are testing and still working out the bugs. I have been rooted and unrooted like 10 times, so its working. It's just converted it into a package is the puzzle that keeps missing pieces.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] khanam:
ok i have firmware # 1.12.605.9 and decided to try this anyway.

after it pushes the files in step 1 - the phone does not restart on its own so i power the tb down, hold power and vol down buttons to get it into hboot and before i can get it into bootloader, it tries to update pg051 and it fails stating that the "main file is older" and asks me to reboot the device.

tried it twice. anybody else who had .9 firmware attempt this?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Goofypook:
Yes. Not sure what issue im having?? It quickly says pushing filies before showing that message.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Well I'm not home and I won't be for a few hours but I did get a job.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
Congratulations.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] khanam:
congratulations dbz!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
Pretty sure there has been some others with the same issue that had .9 installed. I would say you need to downgrade before trying this. Just take the PG05IMG.zip file from the download and put it on the root of your sdcard then flash it by turning off your phone, turning it on by holding down the volume down button and power together. That should take you to the bootloader and automatically flash the lower vs. file. Afterwards get back into the phone and try running step 1 again.

Do you have debugging on? I need to know exactly whats going on to be able to help. Do you have it on charge only? Can you run adb devices?

Read my post here - **This will tell you how to run adb devices to see if your phone is detected. Dont do anything else via adb unless you know what you are doing. **

I rooted on Wednesday night with easy root. I noticed that I'm also running 1.03.605.10. Everything appears to be working just fine for me but I'm not sure I want to be running an older "test" ROM.

Is there a newer ROM that can be installed, without losing root? I don't want the debloat because I want to decide what I want to remove, I don't want anyone else doing that for me.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] PorscheGuy:
CONGRATULATIONS!!! :-)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
Yeah, after you have root you can install any rom you want. You dont have to keep that one. Just use clockwork and install the restore utility and then boot into cwr and install whatever zip tips your button.

In the first post you mention you need firmware lower than x. What is firmware? The Software Number? Mine is 1.12.605.6. So in theory it should work correct?
